The Script Announce Special Forest Concert

The Script are the latest band announced to perform a special forest concert as part of Forestry Commission Live Music.

The Irish trio will play at Thetford Forest in Suffolk on Thursday 14th July. Other acts already announced for Thetford Forest this Summer for Forestry Commission Live Music are Status Quo, Erasure, Simple Minds, Bryan Ferry and Westlife.

The Script’s eponymous debut album very quickly secured them the status of an international act to watch. A musical blend of rock, pop, hip hop and soul, singles like ‘We Cry’ and ‘The Man Who Can’t Be Moved’ brought the band to the fore with a No 1 album in the UK and their single ‘Breakeven’ selling over 1.7 million downloads in the US alone. This initial success was reflected by their performing as special guest with music heroes U2, Take That and Paul McCartney on their respective stadium shows. The Script’s second album, 'Science & Faith', released in the UK last September again hit the top spot in the charts and has already generated the hits ‘Nothing’ and ‘For The First Time’. The band’s Spring 2011 UK indoor arena tour dates sold out in record time.

Commenting on the date, lead vocalist Danny O'Donoghue says, "It’s been fantastic on tour again and we can’t wait to get out into Thetford forest this summer. There’s nothing like headlining outdoors and we are looking forward to making our forest debut in East Anglia.”

The Script plus guests will be performing on Thursday 14th July Thetford Forest, nr Brandon, Suffolk.
